yoai:

first post in the actuallyautistic tag because i havent bothered to check it out until now for whatever reason

does anyone else get pissed off or uncomfortable, almost to the point of screaming, at like… mouth noises? thats the best way i can categorize it. its stuff like whispering, eating, drinking, kissing, those people who make really nasty spitty sounds when they talk… stuff like that. its been a huge problem for me for a few years now and im wondering if theres any way to lessen my reactions to it

Yes.  It’s called misophonia, and mouth noises are one of the most common triggers. Often one person’s mouth noises are worse than others.  (In my case it’s my mother.)  Sometimes other things involving the mouth get involved, like people putting their fingers near their mouth, or gestures they make while eating, and things like that.  Misophonia sucks.
